The Oyo State Police Command has announced increased security measures for the 2026 JAMB examinations. The command's spokesperson, DSP Olayinka Ayanlade, stated the Commissioner of Police ordered the deployment of comprehensive security across the state.
Adequate security coverage has been placed at all Computer-Based Test centres to ensure a safe and orderly examination process. Police officers have been mandated to conduct enhanced visibility policing on major roads and in communities.
Officers on stop-and-search duties are directed to be proactive and courteous to ensure candidates reach their destinations without hindrance. All Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers have been charged with taking full responsibility for security in their jurisdictions. The command reassured candidates, parents, and guardians of its commitment to protecting lives and property during the examination period.
This proactive security deployment directly addresses a major concern for Nigerian students: the fear of insecurity disrupting critical national exams like JAMB. A safe and orderly environment is fundamental for candidates to perform to their full potential.
Such measures, if effective in Oyo, should become a standard national blueprint for securing all high-stakes examinations conducted by WAEC, NECO, and JAMB across the country. Parents and students should take note of the police's appeal for timely information and cooperate fully with security personnel to ensure a smooth exercise.
